I own a Kindle Paperwhite (last gen, relative to this new one) and a Kobo Clara BW (purchase in the last 6 months). IMO, the Kindle is the premium e-reader when it comes to look and feel. It's just a fantastic experience. The issue is

Ah yes, thank you - I'm in the US. Wow I just assumed other Western countries had the same situation with leaving employment as the US. Interesting to know. Do they have to also abide by this to their employees? Or are those just not i

This is nit-picky of me but at a 4% safe withdrawal rate (of 1200 that's $48), there's chance that that doesn't last thirty years (a common period for retirement analysis). The issue becomes sequence of returns risk. In early

As a layman outsider, it doesn't seem like it. Anthropic is doing great work (I personally prefer Claude) and now there are so many quality LLMs coming out that I don't know if OpenAI is particularly special anymore. They had a le

This may not be the solution you're looking for, but I've found that I've really liked plain text files with some machine readable parts. One thing I've done is a new line staring with a colon represents metadata, like

Have they? I haven't seen this. They have a lot of tracking protection built in, but no ad blocker. I'm not doubting you, I just haven't seen any action or posts on their part about this.

For personal use, at what point would one recommend using Borg over a regular rsync? I currently use rsync to backup up a set of directories on a drive to another drive and a remote service (rsync.net). It's been working great, but I&#

I've commented about sports betting a bit of HN in the past, but it's such a tricky situation for me. On one hand, this is actively bad for people. You can make the argument that some people win, but the vast majority do not (over

I'm not sure I'd call them misleading because they didn't say the money was gone, just that it was spent (not implying it didn't come back). The fact that that much money was bet at all for an aid program is astonishing

I would assume that I'd agree, but I've never attempted to use something like a Surface with a keyboard. For me, a desktop OS and a full size laptop keyboard are just two non-negotiables if I'm working on pretty much anything

I'm a full desktop OS kind of person, but even just enabling windowing on a tablet OS makes it feel like so much more of a full OS. The idea of having your browser and a notes app in a configuration that isn't a forced hard split

Been passively wanting something like this for a while now. We have a good few dynamic imports so I'll have to work around that (as per another comment), but this is a much appreciated tool in the belt!

At previous jobs, I've worked in features and integrations that were used by very few people for very unimportant things. The reason we built them was always so the sales team could market them, even if they were near useless. It was v

This is true for some banks (mostly large), but not all. Your big banks like Citi and Chase offer OAuth for this kind of thing (as they should), but smaller banks still don't and will require a username and password. I don't know

I was pleasantly surprised to see a few of the large banks having added OAuth in my recent use of a product that uses Plaid. That said, my local bank is far from it and even a large bank like Discover doesn't offer OAuth yet. I've
